If you like using mnemonics(ezelsbruggetjes) when studying:

FANBOYS is a really nice way to remember coordinating conjunctions (voegwoorden)

F                            A                      N                         B                  O                   Y              S

For (omdat)   And (en)    Nor(noch)    But (maar)    Or (of)      Yet (toch)   So (dus)
